daqverse vs Edgewonk for ICT and prop firm traders
Edgewonk is an analysis-first journal with a strong focus on trading psychology: it looks for your edge, your leaks and your tilt. daqverse is built around a different question: what happened in each New York kill zone, and how close is each prop account to its floor?
This comparison is for ICT and prop firm futures traders, checked on 16 Oct 2026.
Pick Edgewonk if
you want deep statistics and psychology tools (Tiltmeter, Edge Finder, a performance simulator), trade forex on MetaTrader with auto-sync, and prefer one yearly price.
Pick daqverse if
you trade futures with ICT concepts and want trades tagged by New York kill zone and macro, plus each prop account's trailing or static floor worked out from your own rules.

Where Edgewonk is stronger
- Psychology and edge analysis. Tiltmeter, mistake tracking, Edge Finder and a trade management optimizer go further into behaviour than daqverse does.
- Strategy testing. Edgewonk lists strategy testing and a performance simulator; daqverse has no backtesting.
- MetaTrader auto-sync. Edgewonk names auto-sync for MT4/MT5 brokers and prop firms; daqverse imports MT4/MT5 statements as files.
- A long track record and a guarantee. Edgewonk says traders have used it for over 10 years, and offers a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Where daqverse is different
- Kill zones and macros on each trade. Edgewonk analyses sessions and hours; daqverse tags every trade with its ICT kill zone and macro window in New York time, from the entry time.
- Prop rules, not only prop accounts. Edgewonk keeps unlimited prop accounts in separate journals; we found no tracking of drawdown or daily loss rules. daqverse follows each account's floor, daily loss limit, consistency and payouts. Try the floor math in the drawdown calculator.
- Price. Edgewonk is $197 for 12 months; daqverse is free during its invite-only beta.
- The phone first. Both run in the browser. daqverse is laid out for the phone first and can sit on your Home Screen.
Who should pick which
Edgewonk suits a trader who wants to study their behaviour and statistics in depth, especially on MetaTrader, and who likes a single yearly price with a money-back window.
daqverse suits a futures trader who plans the day around London and New York kill zones, trades NQ or ES on prop accounts, and wants the floor of each account in front of them before the next trade. Both import futures trades from files: Edgewonk's Fast Import reads more platforms, daqverse reads Tradovate's reports.
